I know that some have been doing it to let some hot air out of the engine bay.
Spacers are located between the hood and the brackets for the dampers? Remember how thick they are?
Thanks..........Dave

yes, in between the damper bracket and the hood hinge. I think it's 1" - 1 1/4" and a set of longer bolts

that’s a good one ocra a drop sure would be nice. But 
my man told me if I drop the ride its going to rub no matter what cuz of the wide *** tires. I researched around and posted hoping to confirm this but to no avail. It just doesn’t seem right somehow. Heres the scoop:...
...considering the Eibach springs for the progressive feature, seems pretty cool. Used a measuring tape earlier today and it looked as if a 1.4” drop in the front is definitely going to rub, even if we shaved the fenders, at least from what it looked like just by looking at it in front of us. The tires seems too damn wide so it looks as if I might have fucked up by not researching enough before choosing the tire sizes
The setup:
18x8.5 38mm w/ 245/40ZR-18 (front)
18x9.5 38mm w/ 275/35ZR-18 (rear)
The tech dude who assisted me in the measurement said swapping out the tires will help. Specifically moving the 245/40ZR-18s to the front and swapping out the 275/35ZR-18 in the back for 225/30ZR-18 in the front. It really did look like this is the solution according to the tape and what we were looking at in front of us.
I really don’t want to swap out the tires I have had them almost 2 months so it will be a challenge doing this. I would like to avoid this route…if possible. Will someone please kindly share their experience if they are running a similar set up? Someone please chime in something! As you can see from the sig the ride is in need a drop...!
